She works with her team to provide dynamic marketing for home sellers and endeavors to obtain often elusive accepted offers for buyers based on their needs and current market conditions. “Finding a listing is easy. The challenge lies in what comes next, accepted offer through closing. That’s where my expertise comes in. There’s a right home for everyone and I will make it my mission to find yours. My family has always been heavily involved in real estate so I learned from a young age the powerful impact owning and investing in property has, if you use the right tools. I firmly believe ownership is crucial not only for maintaining your current lifestyle, but for ensuring long-term financial gain.” Starr owns personal and investment properties in Manhattan. She is a well-versed and active agent in most neighborhoods.
